Because college used to be something only the wealthy could afford, especially when it came to the ivy league schools. This Ivy League prep style isn't so much a "college style" as it is a white affluent style. This is what those kids used to dress like at home, because they were fucking rich.

With the democratisation of higher education comes a shift in clothing. People dress at college what they dress like at home.

Also with high fashion growing in the last decades, lots of richer people tend to wear trashier "fashion" (think LV bags, Gucci belts, Dsquared etc)

This is not true. College is far more expensive than it used to be. Prep style died on campus because people started dressing less formally in all contexts.

Yes, 50% off anything, twice a year I get 60% off everything and also get like 12 coupons each season which are far better than the discount, coupons like:
>Get a dress shirt for $25 if its up to $120 or $65 if its up to $225
>65% off a Red Fleece outfit (3 Pieces)
>Any tie or bowtie for $25
Some are repeats like the dress shirt ones.

Only bad thing is that our discount doesn't pile up with any other deals going on or sales.

What are some prep essentials?

[Anonymous No.9327386]

As in brands or clothing items?

[Anonymous No.9327395]

>>9327172
if you really don't know just watch the movie Metropolitan

prep is an american style, offshoot of older british styles, they bought american like brooks brothers, allen edmonds etc. bb used to ship clothing from England in the 60's now it's from Malaysia but it's still quality clothing.

Allen Edmonds is still American, about 400 dollars for a nice pair.

It's very accessible, so much so that even asians and blacks are trying to get into it, but ultimately like them you'll look goofy unless you have a WASPy look about you

the point of being a WASP was that you didn't care to show off, you just wore that you would naturally wear given your unique status as a group

people try to ape prep, usually by shopping at JC Penny, but you can tell from the brands. it's a fine line even for those that physically look the part

[Anonymous No.9327664]

>>9327395
What does WASP stand for, if my assumption of it being an acronym is correct?

[Anonymous No.9327713]

What I love about prep is that it fits with almost all bodytypes. Finally my lofting won't matter.

In the US, government student loans were not available until the seventies. Until these loans were available, only those with wealth could afford to go to university--note that after these loans were available and the public-at-large had the opportunity to obtain a higher education, the price of college spiked tremendously as did the demand in the market for educated employees...since everyone is, technically, able to afford college with the help of Big Brother, everyone is also expected to acquire a degree to compete in the workforce before qualifying for even entry-level sales jobs.

Prep style died on campus because it isn't fashionable to look like you have money, especially if you actually do have money.

Prep is, for the most part popular in areas where it is popular to appear to have money. I hate to use broad strokes but I can't think of any examples to refute it. When you think prep, you think the south, and you think the wealthy northeast. You don't think about LA or New York or even Chicago. In a lot of places, it is very much not cool to appear wealthy, but rather "redneck" "bohemian" or whatever the fuck, but in "prep" areas that image is associated with wealth. Prep and wealth are linked at their core.

Preps normaly do some sports therefore are fit. Being fit and in good shape is one part of being preppy.

Follow Kiel James Patrick on Insta. Most of his stuff is vintage Lacoste/Izod, BR, etc

And no, prep is not designed for all body types. Look at prep culture; it revolves around being active and looking good.

That fat kid in high school with one parent that wore Hollister every day isn't "pre"
